SSJ CIVA Software_Redacted.pdf

This is a Request to Restrict Competition memorandum from the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division for a sole source procurement under FAR Part 12 simplified acquisition threshold procedures.

The requirement is for an upgrade to CIVA 2025 software for an existing suite of modules (UT+ET+RT/CT+GWT+TT), conversion of the license from node locked to networked, and provision of one additional seat for UT and RT/CT. The Original Equipment Manufacturer is Extende Inc., located at 733 Thimble Shoals Blvd #170, Newport News, VA 23606. Market research was conducted by Starr D'Auria at Extende Inc. (757-319-2982, starr.dauria@extende.com). The restriction of competition is justified based on existing restrictive rights (the software has a proprietary algorithm per Terms and Conditions Section 4.1 in the market research quote) and exclusive licensing agreements (no other entity may sell or resell CIVA except for the developer, Extende). The procurement is compatible with existing systems and equipment presently installed. The Contracting Officer, Michelle Renee Siebeking-Knox, approved the sole source restriction on August 4, 2026, pursuant to FAR 12.102(a). The PID is N00167-26-SIMACQ-CD-61-0136 with a requiring code of 611 and an effective date of June 2026.
